Based on other phyto products, I am guessing wheat because of the 350 mgs. Sweet potato is very low mgs, and rice is only 40. That means it can't be Gluten Free. I cannot get an answer from the seller to clarify that so I assume I am correct.

Hey Mike, Sorry for the late reply, we totally missed this one! Our Brown Rice Protein is from the USA. With our facilities here in North America, we try and use locally sourced ingredients whenever possible. I hope this helps and, if any other inquiries arise, give us a ring here at head office or shoot us an email any time. 1.866.839.8863 askvega@myvega.com ~Jamieson, RHN Vega Digital Engagement Coordinator

It is bits of roasted non-GMO soy. Some health food stores sell roasted soy nuts. :-)

I learned that ascorbic acid is produced from glucose. Glucose can be derived from corn or wheat. GMO?? Who knows?

I just spoke with Tom at Life Extension. He didn't say corn derived. He said it was synthetically derived. I tried a "natto" derived supplement and experienced terrible stomach upset. Even though it's synthetically derived, I consider it the lesser of two evils.

Sorry...what is Goldenles? I use at least one Ceramide capsule a day-after I wash my face-twoif its very cold. So, my Ceramide has never been "off".

It does state that it uses a soy lecithin as the phospholipids... not wild about that due all soy being GMO. Still looking for the perfect liposomal C. Heard Mercola has one listed but that it is not a true liposomal C. More research required.

All their website says is "...made from phosphatidyl choline, phosphatidyl serine and other phospholipids..." As for where those substances are derived...?

Probably synthetic. I contacted the company re another product & here's their comprehensive reply. Also, please check the link at the bottom as it has more good info;) Thank you for your recent correspondence. Due to customer feedback and response, Life Extension is in the process of transitioning our product line to include ingredients derived only from non-GMO sources. Most newly-launched products will be free of ingredients derived from GMOs. Existing products with corn and soy-based active ingredients are in process of having the labels updated to list when soy and corn-derived active ingredients have been certified to be from non-GM food crops. As the labels are updated the information will be transferred to the product descriptions on our website and directory. Currently Life Extension already offers several premium quality non-GMO products. A list of Non-GMO Life Extension products is attached as a PDF for your reference. This list is not all inclusive and was last updated 11/4/2013. We do not have plans at this time to use the Non-GMO Verified Project; however, we appreciate your suggestion and will forward it to our quality control department for consideration in future product formulations. For more information on Life Extension's commitment to purity and quality, please reference the following document: http://www.lef.org/Vitamins-Supplements/Health-Nutrition-Awards/Good-Manufacturing-Practice.htm If you have any additional questions, please e-mail us or call the advisor helpline at (800) 226-2370; international customers dial 001-954-202-7660.

Kelly, The product used to be rice derived but we moved to wheat because all of our customers gave feedback that it was more effective. I checked out the title and bullet points to confirm it was switched to wheat. I do see in fact the description still has 1 rice notation in it and I will update it ASAP... Thanks for pointing this out for me !

Ollivier Our ingredients offer the trademarked PCD Phytoceramides, a rice based ceramide. The highest quality. Oz recommends that if you buy a phytoceramide it is a plant based formula. We strive to deliver that quality.

I just confirmed - it's China or Korea. Just got this email from them"1000mg Chlorella: While previously Taiwanese current country of origin is China or Korea. They are grown in controlled outdoor commercial fresh water ponds. They are processed in their respective countries and packaged here in our Bloomingdale, IL USA facility. I too want to find a source that is not China.

We have the Long Grain Brown Rice. The only information regarding origin that I see says, "Product of the USA." That's right below the Bob's Red Mill address, so I'm not sure it that's referring to the rice itself, or the packaging/distribution.
